Crumb-Free OP t1_jay2ttp wrote

We went and got him today. We're going to do foster to adopt because he's in pretty rough shape and they'll cover medical for him during the foster period. We are most definitely keeping him. He's done nothing but purr and want love and has already started making biscuits and snuggling.

Hopefully I can post an update in a few weeks showing him with more meat on his bones and his fur coming back. He's still severely underweight. But has already used his litter box, got water, and had a snack tube thingy for cats.

He's pretty fucking amazing and we're gonna change his name to Poe we're thinking.

Edit. Link to the original post. https://www.reddit.com/r/philadelphia/comments/11flpyh/5_sweet_boys_i_met_today_while_at_philly_paws/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb

Also. The Paws people are incredibly kind and sweet people who care for these animals. Please consider helping out and donating to help their cause. I had a great experience all around. Minus Poe puking everywhere. That kinda sucked.

Also expect videos of him on r/catswhosmoke

He's easily a 2 pack a day smoker.

Omg. I just realized that your post brought them together.

I'm so happy that you helped Panko/Poe find his forever family.

And it's wonderful that OP followed through and took home this sweet boy.

I agree, I had a cat named Poe. He would watch Eagles games with me.

This is awesome! I took in my void from living the street life and it took a solid year for him to overcome his medical issues and fear-based behaviors (and put on much-needed weight). Much like Panko, he immediately took to living indoors and was a biscuit factory right from the start.

Happy for your family and wishing you many long and cozy years together! ETA to add cat tax of our big-hearted happy boy https://i.imgur.com/pG7iZG8.jpg

Are you changing his name from Panko because you intend to remain crumb free?

Aweeee shit. I see what you did there.

I'm actually convinced they named him Panko after his dandruff. But yeah. Because I'm Crumb free. We'll go with that.
